Stevie's Experience
The Cooper's Hawk is an amazing bird. They are agile, swift and intellagent. I once saw one soaring above my woods. The hawk dipped and swung on the thermals. Then he dove into the trees and dissapeared. He shot back out with a squerriel in his talons. He alighted on a White Pines' brach and procceded to rip apart his prey. Then he rose into the air and flutered away. An extremely frightining flyer, the Cooper's Hawk is an unconquerable predator.

Gavin's Experience
I have no personal experience with the Cooper's hawk and I am not going to make one up. So at hawk mountain I will tell you what I saw was a Peregrine Falcon and a Turkey Vulture. But other wise I thought the hike was invigorating.
